New features added at eCMAJ

To make eCMAJ more useful for clinicians, a series of new services and enhancements has been added in recent months.

· “Email this article to a friend” allows for the rapid transfer of CMAJ papers among physicians.

· The Browse Columns feature allows users not only to check their favourite columns, such as Clinical Vistas, but also to search for articles.

· Top 10 articles is designed to let physicians know which articles their colleagues consider most important.

· eTOC on Palm allows PDA users to receive the latest CMAJ table of contents, including abstracts of research articles and full-text versions of the Practice section and the Editorial. It allows users to manage all of the HighWire journals they follow on their PDA using a single application. Twelve other journals, including the BMJ, offer this feature.

In an unrelated development, Google started indexing CMAJ at the end of March — a tip of the hat from the world's top search engine. (Google now refers more visitors to eCMAJ than any other referring site.) eCMAJ is also indexed by MSN and Yahoo. — Holly Bodger, eCMAJ
